|
|
Goal - Personal Interaction
Through this Study Package the students will get acquainted with what it means for the afflicted to be mentally ill. The most important component for this is the personal interaction with those who have psychiatric experience. The goal is the reduction of prejudices against the mentally ill and the demystification of a fringe group. Those students that take part in the School Project should afterwards be in the position to deal with people that are 'different' openly, sensitively, and with the necessary respect. The goals of the various teaching components are the breaking down of stereotypes and, through which, the reduction of prejudices. Besides the, for many students new, experience interacting with the mentally ill lies the emphasis of this project in the information transfer regarding the subjective experiences of the mentally ill and the knowledge expansion in regards to the discrimination in every day situations. The Study Package should animate the students to reflect on the social structure of society and the position of minorities their daily life. |
